Faith

As parents, we have a central role to play in passing on faith and freedom to our kids, to the next generation. The spiritual soil of our children’s lives is nurtured first and foremost by us through modeling the biblical life, through education and prayer, and through the stories we pass on to our kids about the faith.

The crisis of leadership in our country is palpable right now, and Christian parents feel that challenge in big ways and small. We don’t have a pure choice at the ballot box, particularly on the national stage. Many Christians have a crisis of conscious when choosing a presidential leader.  How should we respond? That’s what we talk about in latest episode of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD as I continue my conversation with world-renowned author, […]

There’s a lot we don’t understand about freedom in this country… and I include myself in that bunch. Lasting freedom, in any quantifiable sense, is very new to the historical landscape. After all, we fought a bloody revolution to acquire it just a few centuries ago. I am honored and thrilled to be joined by one of the greatest intellectual […]

Something in the human soul cries out for equality. Doesn’t it? It is certainly a virtue that our culture lauds and espouses. But one has to wonder: My  special guest in episode 92 of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD is an expert in the fields of philosophy, theology, and apologetics. Dr. Douglas Groothuis has devoted an entire chapter of his recent book Fire in the Streets: How You Can Confidently […]

Cancel culture is nothing new. We see it all throughout Scripture. The enemy loves to cancel people. He tried to cancel Jesus, but it didn’t work. Satan never stops trying to silence the truth.  In the episode 91 of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD, I investigate the shocking roots of the new political movement that has codified cancel culture in our society. Where does cancel culture come from?  My special guest in this episode of CP/CW has written a brilliant response to the radical ideology at the heart of cancel culture, an ideology that has set […]

I LOVE a good redemption story… the kind of story that answers questions like: Is it possible for a marriage to fully recover from infidelity?   Can the emotional wounds of an affair ever be a thing of the past?  Can trust be rebuilt after betrayal?  My special guests in the latest episode of  CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD answer […]

We all want to have a marriage that thrives, don’t we? And yet one-third of Christian marriages end in divorce, a figure that is “statistically identical to that of non-born again adults” according to recent research from Barna.  What critical foundation are so many Christians missing in their marriage that leads to the demise of their primary relationship? In the latest […]

Life has tough lessons in store for all of us. Seeing those experiences through the lens of Biblical truth is vital if we want to thrive in these difficult seasons and grow. As parents, we want to prepare our kids for these challenges so they can flourish. So what lessons are most important for our kids to learn? In this creative and reflective episode of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD, I dig deep into […]

We think of sex trafficking as being out there somewhere in the jungles of Central America or in Thailand and Cambodia. And to be sure, it is there. But what we must understand as parents is that human trafficking is in every zip code in the United States as well.  What do we need to know […]

The evil of human trafficking is overwhelming, isn’t it? What can you or I do about it?  More than you think.  I recently sat down with Dr. Rondy Smith, founder and CEO of Rest Stop Ministries, Tennessee’s first long-term residential restoration program for female survivors of sex trafficking. January is National Human Trafficking Awareness and Prevention month, so in the latest […]
